Christmas Weather and Local Sheriff News
The Graettinger Times reports seasonal Christmas weather with a light-hearted verse about a woolden leg and a Ford built from spools. It details Polk County liquor injunction cases against druggists Geo McEnroe and L T Ford, their jail terms, and a call for stricter enforcement. It also covers a controversial interview about Hobson and Clark, a subscription drive with penalties for delinquent readers, and a patent deal for P T Burk’s radius rod reinforcement with V Ray Co. plus a medical miracle in Montana where James Dewar regains sight after skull surgery.
